 Swim
Comments: This really was a great swim course setup.. and tho the water wa quite chilly -once you got past the whoa factor it was tolerable- I.m not sure how a longer swim would have felt in this cold water... What would you do differently?: I was a poser for this swim --haven't swam more than a few hours in a year -all stop & go & drills in the pool..so survival was the name of the game- just Nemo ing thru. Was really happy to get on land. But had I been at all prepared this would have been a really nice swim.  Transition 1
Comments: slow slow slow What would you do differently?: practice..especially the whole wetsuit off thing..plus even tho I was "taking it easy" I could easily have been a wee bit faster...  Bike
Comments: Had fun on the bike- werent a lot of places to really get rolling, but fun & scenic decent road conditions for the most part. I didn't push hard- which cost me, but I really wasn't sure where I was as far as being able to run after, so played it safe. What would you do differently?: Push harder Transition 2
Comments: Again, just too slow  Run
Comments: Passed a woman about half mile out who said as I went by..you're 1st...I'm like WHAT?? The top 3 of us in out age group were each like 5-8 seconds apart..(she was wrong I was 2nd) What would you do differently?: Again, I could have pushed a little more, tho the last 100 yds I was feeling like I could throw up ..but fortunately, did not, and actually felt surprisingly good very quickly. Post race
Warm down: oranges-water-wlaking-chatting What limited your ability to perform faster: Base not great..and still tentative with injury issues.. Event comments: hardware was nice surprise- lots of nice people-weather conditions great-well run & organized- especially for a 1st time race.very pretty venue.excellent company.

search for parking. had some intense "gi issues" coudn't eat breakfast at all
really just walked to transition, then got into the water for a BRIEF but shocking orientation to the water...then to start the swim waves we walked down the beach to the start. I thought this was an excellent way to do a short swim like this..just a beeline back along the shore-sighting off the bathhouse & transition are..
